Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

the picture is kind of old, the trailer in the pic is my buddys i would always barrow and the 68 shortbed i sold the begaining of the year to a kid in porterville, it was complete running driving bagged with billet wheels, was a nice truck. what im going to start looking for is a k5!

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

I've tried it a couple times, didn't seem to work. I haven't really researched it yet.
Nice! Well good luck with the k5!

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Ok, I've got a bunch of pics to share, then some questions...

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Tried out my new sandblaster from harbor freight! Just a quickie job to see how it would do. Not bad for an 8 gallon 125 psi compressor and a sandblaster that I got for $15 on sale and with a coupon! haha

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Now, on to the questions. Is this the original middle seat for a 68 suburban? It seems to sit too far back, and you can see the chain that the ppo had in it to keep the back from leaning too much. Thank you for any info!

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Pretty sure it's not OE...

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Ya I don't think so. It sits so far back that it doesn't leave much room for the back seat.

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

the middle seat was there when i got it, the 3rd seat came off a 74 k5

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Thanks Johnny, ya I knew the back seat was a newer one but something about that middle seat just doesn't seem right, even though it bolted right in. hmmm

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

The guy you bought it from didn't mention why he had it chained up did he?

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

just that it would go too far back...

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

That may be some old-skool aftermarket deal for a van or suburban... maybe its's an International Travelall piece...

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

It is an IH piece

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

How'd you figure it out?

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Ok, thanks.

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

ebay... they got good research pictures. And I thought I recognized the full-length bench with the wheel well reliefs. You should take a look at a travelall, they are definitely an SUV engineered WAY ahead of its time! I would take an IH second to a 67-72 GM any day!

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Right on, thanks!

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Saw this one at ther Charlotte Autofair....It was extremely nice!!!:D Sorry Newtz, don't mean to cloud your build thread!!!

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

I haven't really been able to find pics of the factory seat that should be in mine. Does anyone have pics of the middle and back seats, showing the mounting of the middle seat? Thanks!

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

looks nice. did you go get the hubcaps from rene

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Here ya go... Hopefully these show you what you need. I know they aren't the best pics... Haha

If you need some more, just lemme know.

P.S. These are from a '72, but I think the mounting is the same.

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Yes sir.

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Riveted1, thank you for those pics! That's exactly what I wanted to see.

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Anytime. .

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
